Edusgo stands for: Edukey Gender Support Organisation.
‘Edukey for kids’ our foundation in the Netherlands experienced a need for a community project in our district where Edukey is active. Although Edukey for Kids was founded to support children in Uganda we feel there is a serious need to reach out to youth and women of the community.
However to keep activities apart from one and another we decided to found another organisation to come forwards the needs of the youth and women of the community.
